Workshop - Holistic Info-Sec for Computer Science Students

This time for the students of University of Canterbury. An exploration into an insightful set of steps he has learned, from an architectural, engineering and penetration testing perspective. Based on the content of volume 0 & 1 of Kim’s new book “Holistic Info-Sec for Web Developers”. This time held at the University of Canterbury.

Workshop - Holistic Info-Sec for Web Developers

AusCERT hands-on threat modelling, attack and defence strategy training for Web Developers wishing to understand their attackers better, stay ahead of them and create cost effective defence strategies.

Workshop - Tools, Password Profiling, Brute Forcing

Kim will take ISIG through the [collection of tools](https://f0.holisticinfosecforwebdevelopers.com/chap05.html#tooling-setup) added and configured on his penetration testing machine used throughout his book series ([Holistic Info-Sec for Web Developers](https://www.holisticinfosecforwebdevelopers.com)). Kim will then profile a well known celebrities password, creating a short-list, then (on-line) brute force their login. Come along, it’ll be fun.

Captcha Considerations

Lack of captchas are a risk, but so are captchas themselves...

Talk - Password Profiling, Brute Forcing

Kim talks with his fellow Toastmasters about profiling peoples passwords and then brute forcing web applications with the shortlist of guessed passwords..

Lack of Visibility in Web Applications

Not being able to introspect your application at any given time or being able to know how the health status is, is not a comfortable place to be in and there is no reason you should be there.

Consuming Free and Open Source

Redirects to legacy blog post. This is where A9 (Using Components with Known Vulnerabilities) of the 2013 OWASP Top 10 comes in. We are consuming far more free and open source libraries than we have ever before. Much of the code we are pulling into our projects is never intentionally used, but is still adding surface area for attack. In this post we address the risks and countermeasures.
